With the emergence of the digitization of information, ICT infrastructure and communications gave an unprecedented push towards the realization of truly interconnected passenger transport ecosystems at city-level. The emerging notion of multimodality supports a plethora of diverse transport services, typically offered from a central location. There however, the complex interconnected infrastructures ease the cyber-threats propagation while the underlying mosaic of fleets, personal hand-held devices and non-standardized data types increase the system's attack surface and require the authorities collaboration to proactively handle severe incidents. CitySCAPE leverages the skills and mature technology of its 15-partner consortium to systematically explore all different cybersecurity dimensions of multimodal transport. These dimensions will drive a characterization of the cyber-threats in the ICT multimodal transport, extended to the close-by power and financial sector. Innovative software tools will be introduced to estimate the threats propagation in the system. Then, CitySCAPE will realize a modular software toolkit enabled to be seamlessly integrated into any multimodal transport system to: a)detect suspicious traffic-data values and identify persistent threats; b)evaluate an attack's impact in technical and notably in financial terms; c)combine external knowledge and internally-observed activities to enhance the predictability of zero-day attacks; d)instantiate a networked overlay to circulate informative notifications to CERT authorities and support their interplay. The CitySCAPE solution will be tested over a timely set of use-cases involving ticketing applications, cyber-fraud and location data in the regional transport system of two European cities, where extensive experiments will showcase its effectiveness. The findings will steer training sessions of expert/non-expert audience and shape a strong standardization contribution to security (labelling) protocols.

TINDAiR VLD is meant to demonstrate the safe integration of UAM as additional airspace user. The results of the VLD will help to refine the safety, performance, standardisation and regulatory requirements to enable UAM. The VLD will include the execution of flight demonstrations in accordance with the safety conditions. Four mission/flights will take place with different operating methods, in coordination with all the relevant partners, and using more VTOL platforms carrying human passengers and medical equipment to simulate the variety of possible U-Space users in the near future. The demonstration flights will also include vehicles with full autonomous capabilities for automated safe procedures as well as helicopters. Flight demonstrations will address mainly the point defined as “mandated” for U-Space 3 requirements, the Tactical Conflict Resolution and emergency landing with a focus on the pre flight checks for possible conflicts in strategic phase and in-flight checks for enabling each single VTOL operating in that airspace to rely on a DAA (detect and avoid) service providing instructions to aircraft to change their speed, level or heading as needed or force emergency landing to pre-identified vertiports in urban area. The ultimate objective of this very large scale demonstration (VLD) project is to deliver strategic and innovative technologies that can drive competitiveness and UAM growth using an impact-oriented approach and demonstrate the safe integration of UAM aircraft as additional airspace users. The results of the TINDAiR project will help to: • refine the safety, performance, standardisation and regulatory requirements to enable UAM with specific focus on U-space U3 services identified in the U-space Blueprint and refined by CORUS, and, • unlock new and enhanced applications and mission types in high density and high complexity areas.
